Diwali sweet sellers face heat over shelf life
New Delhi: How long will a peda stay fresh? For India's mithai makers, the question is becoming a business concern ahead of Diwali as tighter food safety rules in several states require the display of manufacturing and use-by dates even on loose sweets.Watchdog agencies in states such as Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand are among those that have made this mandatory. The directive aims to help consumers assess freshness as inspections have revealed that buyers were not always given clear information about when sweets were made or how long they remained suitable for consumption, the agencies said.Also Read: FSSAI issues notice to Zepto over alleged delivery of expired besanHowever, small and medium-sized manufacturers and sellers said that the frequent inspections and notices have made it difficult for them to operate during the festive season, when sales are at their highest.

It has also intensified scrutiny of packaged food products, issuing notices to major companies over alleged misleading health and nutritional claims, labelling discrepancies and non-compliance with food regulations.This comes as prices of key ingredients - milk and other dairy products, dry fruits, sugar, gram flour (besan) - have risen to records this year.Impact on marginsThe rising prices of inputs including fuel has had a cascading effect on the end product and will squeeze manufacturers' margins, said Suresh Goel, chief executive officer, Bikanervala Foods.Inspections happen during all festival seasons and so good and hygienic practices have become a part of our processing and packaging systems, he said.

RSS must follow process for Vijayadashami marches: Priyank Kharge
Bengaluru: Karnataka Home Minister Priyank Kharge has called on the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) to obtain formal permission for its Vijayadashami route marches by submitting applications in the prescribed format and furnishing all required details. Kharge made the statement in a social media post in which he shared a letter reportedly submitted by RSS workers Get the latest updates in Hyderabad City News , Technology , Entertainment , Sports , Politics and Top Stories on WhatsApp & Telegram by subscribing to our channels.

Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Oct 20 (IANS) Karnataka Minister for Home, e-Governance, Electronics, IT and Biotechnology Priyank Kharge on Tuesday urged the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) to follow the prescribed procedure and obtain formal permission from the competent authorities before conducting route marches in the state on the occasion of Vijayadashami. The move is likely to trigger a controversy. In a statement addressed to RSS volunteers, Kharge said that merely informing the Home Department or asking it to cooperate and make necessary arrangements did not amount to obtaining permission. He urged the organisation to submit an application in accordance with the prescribed procedure applicable to all organisations and await formal approval from the competent authorities. Kharge also referred to the RSS Akhil Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha Annual Report 2025-26, saying that the organisation had conducted 562 route marches across Karnataka involving 2,21,963 uniformed participants. He said that if lakhs of RSS volunteers intended to march through the streets of Karnataka on a single day at the same time, the Police Department would have to make considerable preparations. These arrangements would include the deployment of police personnel, transportation, food, traffic management, security and other logistical requirements, Kharge added. Emphasising the need for proper planning, the Karnataka Minister noted that such large-scale events required manpower and public resources. He reiterated that the RSS should fill out the prescribed application form, provide the necessary details and wait for formal permission before proceeding with its plans. Concluding his statement, Kharge extended Dasara greetings to RSS volunteers. Karnataka Minister Priyank Kharge has been at the centre of a major political controversy over RSS route marches and public events in the state. Kharge repeatedly challenged the RSS to clarify its legal status, labeling it an unregistered money-laundering unit and writing to RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat to question how it operates without formal registration. He said that public marches and security management fall under state jurisdiction, meaning organisations must seek formal permission rather than merely informing authorities. Following RSS route marches in Chittapur and Bengaluru, Kharge accused the RSS of turning the events into a matter of prestige, exaggerating crowd numbers, and allegedly coercing hostel students to attend through pressure from BJP leaders' families. He also urged the state government to ban the use of public/government premises for RSS activities. In August 2026, the Education Department suspended two government school teachers after a complaint revealed they participated in an RSS route march, violating service rules that bar government employees from participating in political or unregistered organisations. Kharge defended the action, saying that enforcement should apply uniformly across groups like the RSS or SDPI. The row also drew police complaints after Kharge reported receiving severe online abuse and a death threat following his letters against the RSS.

Sonu Nigam has apologised to Kannadigas over his controversial remarks linked to the Pahalgam terror attack, ahead of his scheduled Bengaluru concert on October 24. The singer shared a video message addressing the controversy after pro-Kannada organisation Karnataka Rakshana Vedike (KRV) demanded that Bengaluru City Police Commissioner deny permission for the concert. In his video message, Sonu said he was willing to apologise repeatedly if it helped preserve his relationship with people in Karnataka. When you love someone and want the relationship to last, you don't mind saying sorry a thousand times, Sonu said in Kannada at the beginning of the video. So, my dear family, if anything I've said inadvertently has hurt you, I'm so sorry. You know I'm not the kind of person who would ever hurt anyone, especially my family from Karnataka. You have given me so much love and respect over the last 30 years, and I don't want any small misunderstanding to taint that relationship or cause any bitterness, he added. What did Sonu Nigam say about the Pahalgam attack? The controversy dates back to April 2025, when Sonu performed at East Point College of Engineering and Technology in Bengaluru. During the concert, a member of the audience repeatedly demanded that he sing in Kannada. Sonu responded by speaking about his longstanding affection for Karnataka and its audiences, while objecting to what he described as an aggressive manner of making the request. The incident gained renewed attention after his comments were linked to the April 22, 2025 Pahalgam terror attack, in which 26 people were killed after gunmen opened fire on tourists at Baisaran meadow near Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir. Sonu's remarks sparked criticism among sections of the Kannada-speaking community, with the issue continuing to remain contentious.

BJP is in Oppn as per mandate; but Cong leaders are rebelling against CM Shivakumar: Vijayendra
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Oct 20 (IANS) Karnataka BJP President and MLA B.Y. Vijayendra on Tuesday alleged that Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar's position was under threat due to rebellion within the ruling Congress and accused him of repeatedly blaming the Centre out of desperation. Reacting to Shivakumar's statement that the BJP was not cooperating with the state government's efforts to convene an all-party meeting on the sugarcane farmers' issue, Vijayendra said the Chief Minister's chair was shaking amid growing dissent within the Congress party. You have been observing the developments surrounding the sting operation. Congress leaders are rebelling against CM Shivakumar. In this background, he is repeatedly complaining against the Centre out of desperation, he alleged. Vijayendra said the BJP would discuss the proposal to join the all-party delegation to Delhi with the Leaders of Opposition and senior party leaders before taking a decision. We will sit with the Leaders of Opposition and senior leaders and discuss whether to join the ruling party's delegation to Delhi over the sugarcane farmers' issue, he said. Clarifying the BJP's stand, Vijayendra said the party would continue in the Opposition for the remaining one-and-a-half years of the government's tenure, and has no intention of destabilising the Congress government. The BJP is in the Opposition as per the mandate of the people. We will remain in the Opposition for another one-and-a-half years. There is no need for us to destabilise or bring down the Congress government. Senior leaders within the ruling party are preparing to rebel against CM Shivakumar. What I am saying is the truth, he claimed. Expressing concern over the plight of farmers, Vijayendra said agricultural communities across Karnataka and the country were facing severe distress and appealed to the Almighty to come to their rescue. Since the Congress came to power in Karnataka, farmers have been in deep trouble. The financial situation of the state is deteriorating, and people are fed up with the Congress government, he alleged. Pointing to the condition of roads in and around Bengaluru, he said public dissatisfaction with the government was growing. He also accused the state government of failing to deliver on development, drought management and welfare measures. Even after three-and-a-half years, development has not taken off. Today, persons with disabilities are on the streets demanding their pensions. The government has forgotten its priorities and is unable to think and act, he alleged. Vijayendra further accused the state government of merely writing letters to the Centre, blaming the Union government and then remaining inactive instead of addressing people's problems. He also criticised the Congress government for raising the issue of delimitation and alleged that it was creating unnecessary confusion among the people while the Centre was examining the matter. On drought management, he charged that the state government had failed to provide adequate relief to affected people. Turning to the sugarcane farmers' agitation, Vijayendra credited the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led NDA government with introducing measures to support sugarcane growers and the sugar industry. He said the Centre had introduced the minimum support price (MSP), created opportunities for ethanol manufacturing and brought in policies to facilitate value addition in the sugar industry. He also pointed to financial assistance extended to the sector, claiming that these measures had been taken by the NDA government. Vijayendra said the present agitation by sugarcane growers was primarily over alleged irregularities in the weighing of their produce at sugar factories and injustice in the assessment of sugar recovery rates. He said Union Minister Pralhad Joshi had held a meeting with Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan and that a committee had been constituted to examine the issue.
